STARKVILLE, Mississippi—A reshoring webinar hosted by Mississippi Make It In America will show businesses the benefits of reshoring, an effort focused on bringing jobs that were previously offshored from the U.S. back to Mississippi.

The Mississippi Make It In America team includes Mississippi State University, InnovateMEP Mississippi, the Mississippi Development Authority, the Reshoring Initiative, several planning and development districts and four community colleges.

The free webinar will be held Thursday [Dec. 3] at noon. The workshop features reshoring expert, Harry Moser, the founder and president of the Reshoring Initiative and leading industry expert.

The workshop will cover key reshoring concepts and trends and describe services and tools available to help companies interested in creating and keeping jobs in America. The session also will include a brief demonstration of free online tools that companies can use to analyze and compare overall costs of manufacturing in the U.S. versus overseas, as well as information about programs to assist manufacturers with efforts to keep jobs close to home.

This workshop is geared toward original equipment manufacturers, component suppliers, industrial suppliers, service providers and economic developers. The workshop is free, but registration is required and space is limited. Register online at http://tinyurl.com/Reshoring-webinar by Monday [Nov. 30].
